Nope, that's not a jeep jack part at all.

 

It's the tube that you'll see through the hole just below the tailgate.  That tube goes back to the spare winch bracket assembly to that short shaft in the pic - the one with the hole drilled through it.  The tube goes over that shaft and held in place by a cotter pin.  The end you see below the tail gate has a bit of a pinch to the end where the flat blade end of the lug wrench goes - using the lug wrench to turn the tube and therefore lowering or raising the spare tire winch.

 

Best pic I could find on the interwebz.....

Yellaheep,

 

Can you email me a couple of high resolution pictures of that cable end?  I need to figure out what to use on the end of cable, so I can hold the spare tire in place.  Mine broke off and I lost the old cable end.  As I recall, it seemed to be a molded hard plastic?  Any clue as to what would be a good substitute?

What's posted here is as good as it gets.

 

Seems to me, you might be able to use a urethane upper shock mount bushing and washer from an off-road style XJ/MJ front shock.  I wouldn't use a black rubber bushing, probably too soft and those tend to crush over time.
